I am planning on hiking the Camino Frances in May/June. I don't plan to bring a cell phone. I don't wish to be persuaded otherwise, nor am I expressing judgement for those who find their mobile phones enhance their experience. (I know I'm unusual -- I rarely use a cell phone in my home country. I prefer being disconnected when I'm out and about. So, I'm used to being without a phone, and I'm not worried about the adjustment.)
However, I am wondering about the following:
1. Is there anyone these days who is like me and hikes the Camino with no cell phone?
2. I heard there used to be computers for pilgrims accessing email/Internet at some auberges, but now they are becoming less common. I'm thinking of trying to check my email once a week. How hard will that be without a smartphone? How common are public computers these days in auberges, cafes, and/or public libraries?
Thanks for any input.
